IBM FileNet P8 Customers Select CYA SmartRecovery to Maximize Application Availability and Ensure Data Integrity


Application-aware hot backup, recovery, and monitoring for ECM systems.


Shelton, CT (PRWEB) January 20, 2010

CYA Technologies, an enChoice® company, today announced that growing numbers of IBM® FileNet® P8 customers are turning to CYA SmartRecovery™ to complete their P8 backup and recovery strategies. CYA SmartRecovery is an application-aware solution that complements disaster recovery technologies by providing hot, synchronized backups and hot, granular recovery of P8 objects in response to logical failures such as programmatic and user errors, viruses, and corruptions.

CYA SmartRecovery has recently been adopted by several government entities including Infrastructure Ontario, State of New Mexico, and the U.S. Army. These organizations realize that losing just one document has the potential to cripple their most critical operations, and CYA SmartRecovery is the only solution that enables them to facilitate operational continuity by quickly recovering granular objects without a full system restore or downtime. Other new customers include CNA Insurance, which has selected CYA SmartRecovery for its ability to both backup and recover information without taking P8 offline.

“Because CYA SmartRecovery allows P8 to remain online while backup and recovery operations are performed, our customers are empowered to meet stringent service level agreements related to application uptime,” said Wayne Crandall, president of CYA Technologies. “By minimizing downtime, CYA SmartRecovery puts its customers ahead of the competition by helping maximize productivity, customer satisfaction, and ultimately profits.”

CYA SmartRecovery works seamlessly with traditional disaster recovery solutions including IBM Tivoli Storage Manager, EMC NetWorker, and Symantec Veritas NetBackup to enable system hot backups and reduce data loss windows to under fifteen minutes in the event of a disaster. It also features an optional Data Integrity Module that complements FileNet Consistency Checker’s content checks by verifying metadata integrity. The module proactively identifies corruptions so they can be corrected before the information is needed for an audit, inspection, or other business demand. This is especially useful during P8 upgrades, where corruptions that are not corrected prior to data migrations can cause budget-busting delays by halting migration scripts.
